Charming Away Kings Evil.
From All the Year Round.

from ALI the I ear Round.
In the London Gazette, January
1888 "a, is advertised "a Treatise on
Kings Evil, with description of the
royal gift of healing it by imposition
of hands, as performed for above $40
years by the Kings of England" by
one of II. MS Surgeonsin- Ordinary,
to which volume was pre6xed a pict-
uresque view of the sovereign perform
ing the ceremony. From this publ
cation it appears that between May,
1860, and April, 1882, no fewer than
$4,000 persons had been touched by
the King.
Evelyn in his "Diary," 9Th July,
1860, says: ellis Majesty began first
to touch for the evil according to GUS
tom, thus: His Majesty sitting under
his State in the banquetting house,
the Outrageous cause the sick toibe
they kneeling, the king strokes their
faces or cheeks with both hands at
once, at which instant g. chaplaine in
his formalities says: 'Heput his hands
upon them and healed them This is
sayd to every onein particular. When
they have been all touched, they come
up again IN the same order, and the
other chaplaine kneeling, and having
angel gold strung on white ribbon on
his arms, delivers them one by one to
His Majesty, who puts them about the
ecks of the touched as they pass,
while the first cnaplaine repeats:
That is the true Light who came into
the world Then follows an epistle-
as at first gospel-with the liturgy;
prayers for the sick, with some alter.
ations; and lastly, the blessing; and
the Lord Chamberlain and Comptrol-
Ter of the Household bring basin,
ever and towel for His Majesty to
wash" And under date 2Sth March,
1854, he informs us, "that there was
SO great concourse of people with
their children to be touched for the
evil, that six Or seven were crushed to
death by pressing at the Outrageous
door for tickets"

The Gem Mines of Burmah
From the JeWelrY News.

From the Jewelry News.
Since the occupation OF Burmah by
the British troops, much interest has
been excited, and considerable infor-
nation elected, with regard to it's
famous ruby mines. The district in
which these mines are situated is sixty
miles northeast of Mandalay, extend
ing over 100 square miles. No strang-
er has ever been permitted to APP
proaoh the spots where the precious
stones are dug; aud, except that they
are obtained by sinking pits In the
gemmiferous soil, very little is known
concerning this portion of the king
dom. 1t is, however, certain that
vast quantities of blue sapphires, red
Tor Oriental) rubies, purple anne
thysts and yellow topazes, besides diff
ferent varieties of chrysoberyl and
spinel are found. The mines have
been subjected to no systematic
working. The natives worked with
licenses, but were not allowed to car
ry away stones of more than the
value of e1O. This led to the better
stones being broken up, and they new
or reached the bands OF the monarch
to whom they belonged. What did
reach him was of great value, and
when King Theebaw's palace was en-
tered many jars OF rubies were carried
away, though some rubies of great
value were taken by the deposed mon
arch into exile. 1t is now understood
that g. concession to work these mines
has been granted to some English mer-
chants who were successful in their
competition with sundry Frenchmen.
This concession granted by the Indian
government has been accorded con-
trary to the advice from Mandalay.
With the machinery that, it is to be
presumed, the fortunate Englishmen
will put up, vast quantities of soil
will be turned over. The production
may be such that prices will fall, as
did those of diamonds when Southern
Africa began to pour her supplies into
the market. Ceylon has hitherto been
the chief producer Of rubies; but if all
reports be true, q formidable compel
itor has been found in this last &C.
quired province of the British Empire.

strange part of it is that she never

Painless Regulation.

1t is no longer question of doubt-although
the contrary was once belieVed-that medicines
which produce violent effects unsuited to
other than desperate emergencies. In ctner
words, that super potent remedies are calculat-
ed to weaken and injure the system rather than
reform its Irregularities. Among medicines of
facilitating effect are cathartics and cholar
gogues which copiously and abruptly evacuate
the bowels. Because it does not do this, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is preferable to the
drenching class of purgatiyes. Painless in its
effects, it is sufficiently active to remedy
chronic constipation. 1t relieves by invigorat-
ing the intestines, and enables, not forces,
them to perform the duty imposed upon them
by nature. Promoting the secretion OF bile in
normal quantities by its BEAUTIFULLY stimulat-
ing effect upon the liver, it is eminently con-
ducive to digestion, and contributes in no small
degree to keep the bowels regular.

Some Curious Wagers.
From Chambers Journal.

FTOm CQdmD6TS JOuIu6Is
A foreign prince staying in Paris
made g. heavy bet with q member OF
the Imperial Club that he, the prince,
would. in the course of the next two
hours, be arrested by the police with
out committing any offense or pro-
voking the authorities in any fashion.
The way he won his wager was by
dressing himself In g. battered old
blouse, a pair of mouldy boots full of
holes, and q disreputable burlesque OF
a hat. Thus attired he walked up to
one of the most aristocratic cafes in
Paris, and, seating himself at g. table,
called for cup of chocolate. The
waiter, as was only natural, did not
care about serving so suspicious look
ing g. customer before he was assured
that payment would be Forthcoming,
so he told the prince, that he must pay
in advance. Upon this, his highness
pulled g. bundle of bank notes out of
his pocket, and picking out one of con-
siderble value told him to take
the price of the coffee out of
it and bring back the change.
The man Immediately went in
search of theproprietor Of the cafe
VINO. Wn0Q he u0dCu Uu0 lcbCUS VI Uu0
case, ordered the chocolate to be
served, and st the same time sent to
the nearest police station for SER
CANT de vile. The prince was ofcourse
arrested and taken before q commits
sary of police. He announced his
rank and told his reasons for assum-
ing such an unprincely costume. The
authorities were obdurate at first, but
finally they consented to send the
prince under escort to the Imperial
Club, where the gentleman with whom
the bet had been made proved his
identity, and paid his highness the
money he had fairly won.
A notorious gambler of the last CEN
fury finally ruined himself by very
extraordinary bet. He had been
playing with Lord Lorn, their stakes
had been very high and luck had gone
steadily against him. Exasperated
at his losses, be jumped up from the
card table. and Selling large punch
bowl, said: "For once I'll have bet
where have an even chance of win
ming! Odd or even for 15, 900 gum

ly. The bowl was dashed against the
wall, and on the pieces being counted,
there proved to be an odd one. The

Amateur Taxing.
From the Boston Herald

A newsboy lay last night on the
sidewalk on Fourteenth Street with a
bundle OF kilograms under his arm says
the New York Evening Sun. His little
head rested against the hard iron
shutters OF a. business palace. 1t was
a pathetic picture. An electric light
shone full upon his face. His eyes
were closed; he was evidently in deep
sluinber. An elderly gentleman
stopped and gazed upon him. The
old fellows countenance beamed with
benevolence. He finally drew a large
silver coin from his pocket, thrust it
into the sleeper's hand, and departed,
brushing g. tear from his eye. When
he was well out of sight the boy awoke
as if by magic and pocketed the
money. Then he skipped down the
street with whoop of Joy. Two
other newsboys who had watched the
